NON-REFILLAIBLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented N 10 1914 Application filed May'19, 1913. Serie1No. 768,499.

To all whom it may concern l Be it known that I, JOHNJACoB DAY, a subject of the King of GreatBritain, and

resident of 963 St. Antoine street, in the city and district of MontreaLProvince of Que bee, in the Dominion of Canada, have he vented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full clear, and exact description of the same.

The invention relates to lll'lPlOVBIllGIltSil'l non-refillable bottles as described in the present specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings that form part of wiew of the valve.

the same. 1

The invention consists essentially in the novel arrangement and construction of parts whereby a particular form of stopper cooperates with a particular form of valve in maintaining the non-refillable properties of the bottle.

The objects of the invention are to devise a bottle in which the stopper can be inserted at a very small cost and yetbeperlnanent and not permit interference with the particular valve mechanism which prevents the refilling oi the bottle, to avoid fraudulent practices such as the usage of cheap liquor in place of the more expensive kind in labeled bottles, and generally to provide a cheap and etiicient non-refillable bottle.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of the neck and upper portion of the body of the bottle showing the construction of the obstructing parts. Fig.

[2 is a perspective detail of the body of the stopper. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the screw closure. Fig. 4L is a perspective Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the valve seat. Fig. 6 is a view 0 the bottle inverted for pouring. Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

central hole 6 therethrough, the bosses 7 at the upper end and the bosses 8 a short distance below the upper end and the bosses 9 a short distance above the lower end,

1 the said bosses 8 and 9 covering the spaces between the bosses 7, thus forming circuitous passages between the casing 5 and neck 1. 10 is a passage through the caslng 5 and in register with the recess 2. 11 is a boss on the outer Wall of the Ct sing and through which the passage 10 extends to meet the recess 2. 12 is a teat-on one of the bossesS and adapted to fit in the L- shaped slot 4 and loya very slight movement of the stopper lock that side of the said stopper in said neck. 18 is a screw stopper preferably of glass and having the hcadltand the stem 1.5, said stein having the spiral groove 16 forming in the bed thereof an eccentric surface 1'? in relation to the outside surface of said stein. 11.8 is a cork gasket encircling the stem 15 under the head 14. 19 is a locking bar preferably of wood inserted in the recess 2 through the slot 10 and projecting into the groove 16 and engaging the saideccentric surface, 1

nently, the outer end or the locking piece projecting slightly into the groove 16, thus :tornnng a guide i'or ralsing and lowering per securely to said casing 5, and said casing 5 securely to said neck 1.

20 is an annular valve seat having the downwardly extending llange 21 and cork gasket surrounding said flange and abutting the under side oi the seat 20, said gas ket 22 extending slightly beyond the edge of said seat 20 and engaging the inner wall of the neck of the bottle below the casing.

23 is a valve engaging the seat 21 having a heavy stein 24L, said stein being screw threaded at 25 into the valve 23 and depeiiiding through the seat 20, said stein having the radial wings 26 extending from the to open.

The assembled valve and seat therefor are first inserted in the neck of the bottle toward the lower end, and form a distinct part of the device. Clhe stopper portion 'is then inserted, the wooden piece orlocking bar beingheld in the deep part oi the thread of the screw stopper, so that it will in no way interfere with the entrance of the stopper casing. A very slight thrust of said casing brings the teat 12 in the horizontal section of the L-slot and also the wooden piece opposite the recess in the neck. The screw stopper is then turned and the shallower part of the thread meets the head 1 1- as well as looking said stop-v core 27, said wings lockingsaid valve to sald seat though allowing it sulncient play recess adjacent to the top of the neck and I an L-shaped slot opposite, a stopper having a cylindrical casing, said casing hav- 1 ing bosses from the outer Wall thereof suitably spaced to form circuitous passages and a pasage registering with said recess, one of said bosses having a teat projecting into said L-shaped slot, a stopper having a head and a stem the latter fitting into said casing and having a spiral groove with its bed eccentric to the outside surface of said stem, a locking bar extending through said passage into said recess,'and a ValWB below said stopper.

Signed at the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, this nineteenth day of April, 1913. JOHN JACOB DAY.
